The Providence Journal seems 10 con.
siser our demand for Democrats upon the
bench Of the Supreme Court OF the United
States reasonable one, but says that the
case we cited one in which the Republi'
cans on the bench divided equally-waS an
unfortunate Illustration. We said that II
there was even one genuine Democrat upon
that bench we should expect the decision
objected to 10 be reversed. Why? Because
right and justice and the Constitution are
30 clearly ON The side OF Virginia that we
did not expect that tue time would ever
arrive when more than ball OF the Repubh
can justices could be induced so to decide
a case as 10 set al naueht the eleventh arti.
Gle az amendments TO the Federal COnsti
tuition.
h the article upon which the JOuraa
comments we disiinctis stated that the ad
vocaiss OF and believers IN a centralized
despotism would naturally decide ~ thC
Ave justices did In the Virginia cases. We
made DO impOtation upon their motives
FIELD we do not regard as q DemOcrl,
lie was appointed by LIscoLS. And il
does seem TO us too plain for argument that
II q Democrat who believes in upholdlng
the eleventh amendment were now pul
upon the bench Of toe supreme Court that
tribunal would reverse Us decision in the
Virginia coupon case.

News from Abroad.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Alexandria Gazette SAYS:
~ gentleman here TO day who attended
all The conferences between the English
commission and the debt committee OF the
Virginia Legislature says he was convinced
from the first that nothing would be done,
for the reason that he saw there were men,
bcfs Of the committee who were opposed To
any sort OF settlement. TIE also says that
no rtport other than the one made could
have been unanimous. He saws some mem
bess OF the committee would not have
sgTeed 10 q settlement even on the terms OF
the Riddleberger bill unless 4 specific state
ment 10 that effect could have been included
in the agreement
cit is said by NIrginians now here that
General Malone, IN hls next falls cam.
psien, will endeavOr 10 make the people OF
The State believe that i! he be +, elected to
the Senate he will bqvc influence enough
with the Republicans in that body to IN
duce them TO support the idea that the
national Government, by destroying the
security upon which the Virginia debt was
created, is bound for that debt, and that
some Virginians will be silly enough TO be-
lleve him."
What is the name Of the gentleman who
attended all the conferences between the
English commission and the debt commit
tee. How did be get in? Was he one OF
the committee? And who are the members
OF the committee who were opposed to any
sort OF settlement! We don't believe there
was any such disseutient on the committee.
The Gazette ought TO know that this Is
serious charge.
The way to head off MALONE is TO sub
mt TO the people the question OF accepting
the best one OF the bondholders' PROPOSE
tions. The suggestion that he will &c,
Congress 10 pay the debt Of Virginia II she
will send him back 10 the Senate would be
moro plausible and there might be persons
O. silly enough 10 believe him il he bad
not served in the United States Senate
from 1881 to 1sS1-six long, long years
10 the people who felt ashamed Of
his presence there-without accomplishing
anything in that line. The United States
Government wouldn't pay such a claim for
Massachusetts,. 1t is hoping against hope
for Virginia. The northern people regard
such proposition as downright Impu-
deuce. They look upon it As the people OF
Virginia would look upon a proposition to
pay a heavy debt for Accomack and
Northampton counties, incurred in en-
deavolins to secede from Virginia.
We repeat that the way to open the road
10 Democratic victory next fall IS TO take
the people into your confidence. Some
persons have a contcmptuOus opinion of
the intelligence OF the mass OF voters, but
it ia none the less true that IN 1879, in 1881,
and in 1882, they seemed to know as we'll
what they were doing when they voted TO
get rid of the men who were responsible
for the McCULLOCH settlement as they did
in 1883, 1884. and 1885, when they voted to
reiastate the Democratic party into power.
